The Story
Pear in perfumery.
The scent of pear is an invitation to the orchard, evoking the juicy freshness and subtle sweetness of its fruit. This natural essence or synthetic replica brings a light, fruity character into compositions, often capturing the essence of autumn with its crispness and warmth.
In perfumery, pear serves as a versatile middle note that can balance both sweet and woody accords. Its most common companions include musk for depth, vanilla for sweetness, jasmine for floral notes, sandalwood for earthiness, rose for complexity, and bergamot for freshness. This combination creates a harmonious blend that is both inviting and memorable.
Today, pear can be found in notable fragrances such as Jo Malone London's English Pear & Freesia from 2010, Juliette Has A Gun's Pear Inc (2021), and Marc Jacobs' Pear Splash 2016. Despite a slight decline in its share of new releases over the years, pear continues to be a beloved note for its ability to bring a touch of nature into perfumery.
